Whenever a really big W swell comes in, Punta Santa Rosalillita is an obvious choice with the point situated to the north of the bay delivering truly classic, extra-long rides and providing several other breaks along the bay. A traveller's favourite, this small fishing village is earmarked for both marina development (construction of breakwalls in the surf zone has already begun) and as an entry point for a road connection to the Sea of Cortez.

This graph shows the percentage of days that had a ridable wind swell (7 seconds period or more) or groundswell (10 seconds period or more) of over 3ft. It also shows the dominant wind direction. Not all of these days will neccessarily give great surf, and very short lived wind swells or longer period secondary swells may produce surf not recorded, but it gives a clear idea of the seasonal trend and a rough guide to the chances of scoring something ridable.
